This guy, Herd Mentality, wasn't anything big on the track (he did debut in the same race that Lochte debuted in '13: Herd Mentality was 3rd and Lochte was 7th), but he was retired and adopted out via New Vocations. He's adorable, and seems quite intrigued by the barn kitty

This kiddo has already been retired and adopted out (he never raced and doesn't even have a Jockey Club registered name), but isn't he lovely? This is My Miss Aurelia's 2010 half-brother by Mr. Greeley:

Akindale posted some pics of him in February on Facebook. He was at their South Carolina location then.

Fans of grade I winner Brass Hat will have a chance to see the popular gelding in action when the Thoroughbred Horse Show Association hosts its fifth annual show on May 8 at the Kentucky Horse Park in Lexington.

Brass Hat, now 15, will be ridden by 12-year-old Jett Bradley. She is the daughter of William "Buff" Bradley, who trained the horse in his racing days, and the granddaughter of Fred Bradley, who owned and bred the gelding.

This is such a good story, I may have posted it before:Smarty Jones son retires in a full-circle moment

A stakes-winning son of Smarty Jones was retired to former Three Chimneys communications director Jen Roytz this winter after a lengthy and successful racing career.

In a development that brought her history with Smarty Jones and his son full circle, Roytz went from her earlier days writing about the talented 9-year-old gelding offspring of Smarty Jones, to owning him outright as of February.
